MOBILE, Alabama -- David Holmberg pitched 6.2 scoreless innings and Alfredo Marte came off a three-game suspension to drive in the only run as Mobile shut out Jacksonville 1-0 Thursday night at Hank Aaron Stadium.

Winning the deciding game gave the BayBears their third series win of the second half of the Southern League season. It was their eighth shutout of the season, although just the second one of the second half.

"Happy to get a shutout," Mobile manager Turner Ward said. "Sometimes you need a shutout to win a ballgame, and that's what they did."

Holmberg (3-4) snapped his three-game losing streak by scattering five hits and striking out seven, the most since being called up from Single-A Visalia.

He got out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning with his first strikeout and was helped by an inning-ending double play after the first two batters singled in the third.

"It was definitely his best game he pitched of the season," Ward said.

Marte, back after sitting for his part in a brawl at Mississippi last week, drove in Brent Clevlen in the fourth. Clevlen led off with a double off Jose Alvarez (4-6), moved to third on Ryan Strieby's fly to center and scored on Marte's groundout to short.

Holmberg left with a runner on second and two outs in the seventh after throwing 96 pitches. Bryan Woodall struck out Jake Smolinski for the third out, and Eury De La Rosa struck out four in two innings for his second save.

The Suns threatened in the ninth as Shawn Bowman's leadoff single and pinch hitter Kyle Jensen's walk set the table for leadoff batter Jake Smolinski. But Smolinski's blooper between third base and the mound was fielded by De La Rosa, who rifled a throw to first for the third out.

"That was a great play," Ward said. "That's not an easy play for any pitcher or position player to make that throw with their back turned away from the target. It was definitely the play of the game."
